It really has to do with distribution rights. In the south ,well Coke. In the St. Louis area , we had Coke, Pepsi,7up,IBC,Dr.Pepper and Vess all being made locally so soda was the simple request. I the sout it was Coke and everyone knew what that was called as pop.

Husband says; Hey dear pick up some cokes while at the store
Wife comes home with 2 pepsi a sprite and a dr pepper.
Funny thing is she got just what the husband wanted.

No. Please put the soda in a bag!

I'm in a dark blue county here in Buena vista county NWIA and it's true we have always called it pop. When I went south to Oklahoma on the harvest I had to acclimate myself to calling it soda. Thank goodness coffee is a fairly universal name. Jim

I grew up in Michigan. A "soda" was something with ice cream, flavored syrup, and carbonated water.

Dunno,
The sign at the recycling center says pop cans so maybe that's correct.
But I'm with Jay, I almost never drink the stuff.
A couple times a year - usually in the hottest part of the summer - I'll want one. And then it's gotta be a root beer.

Funny story... We called it pop in Illinois when I was a kid. Just moved to Texas, was having the driveway poured by a "imigrant" crew. It was hot so we asked them if they wanted something to drink, and they asked for soda water. Wife thinks, "no soda water, but we have some Perrier water". Gave it to them. They took it and thanked us. Neighbors were rolling in the lawn laughing when we told them later. In that part of Texas, soda water is pop. Still chuckle about it 30 year later.

You got it right in Washington- its been "pop" all my life, although my educated son calls it "soda".
But let me get this straight- all across the south, they call it Coke, but they mean any kind of pop, not just Coca Cola? So what if you want a Coca Cola? Ask for a coke coke?

TDFMike, Friend, It isn't that complicated! John, Joe, Bill, & George are at work, Hunting camp, going to a ball game, Don't care what.....Joe says to the rest of the guys.....Say Lets go get a Coke! They all load up in the Ford F350, 4x4, Crew cab and go to the the 7-11 type convenience store, all walk in to get a 16 oz bottle of something......
John gets a RC Cola, Joe get a Coke, George gets a Big Red, and Bill gets a Frosty Root-Beer all pay for their drinks and get back in the pickup and go on their way.
Coke in the question form is Generic for just about any sugary sweet drink that is banded in cups over 16 oz in NY.
Same as a Cresent Wrench is an adjustable wrench, or a Channel Lock pliers is the same as an adjustable pliers. Yes down here it is that simple if you want something different get it, it isn't laid down in stone.
We Do Not Say,, Soda, Pop, or Useguys down here!
LOL!

Soda is that nasty carbonated water. I've always called it pop and never heard it called anything else. As far as I'm concerned that's the correct word, but then I also call a candy bar a chocolate bar and buy my milk in bags, so what do I know?

Around here we drink Dr. Pepper. When we're out of "Cokes" we're out of Dr. Pepper.
Can also be called soda water, pronounced "Sodee water"
As a side note, Coca-Cola lost the war when they introduced "New Coke".
